It would appear the studio is related to Motion Capture, and almost certainly renamed following a previous acquisition of Standard Deviation which provide motion capture software / hardware.

It's crazy how Rockstar has not been able to work on 2 different AAA projects simultaneously since GTA 5 and Max Payne 3. They have roughly 3000+ employees. To compare, God of War studio Sony Santa Monica has roughly 250 people

1 release in almost 10 years and not even an announcement for their next game

And development was led by different studios like Rockstar London or Rockstar Vancouver, while now the big projects are essentially collaborative efforts between all their subsidiaries.

L.A. is known for motion/performance capture. Commercially accurate acquisition.

Gotta recoup these acquisition costs somehow from these suckers we call as our customers...Hmm...What do we do...Aha! Can't wait for the vanilla PS2 GTA3 port running PS5 at 720p30fps, for $70.
 
It's really not a big building and there are other businesses in that building like art galleries a music conservatory

Someone on google map already commented on a business called Standard Deviation saying the new RockStar studio eh eh. That was 15 hours ago

GTA Online is the main priority since 2013

However games had gotten longer time development and bigger budget since 7th gen

Think about how GTA V from 2013 took 5 years to develop
While his predecesor GTA IV from 2008 took 3 years and a half

12 Rockstar studios? What the fuck are they all doing.

I think Rockstar's project management is a clusterfuck of epic proportions. And I bet that they won't change it until they crash and burn hard with one game. According to the leaks, Benzies had to play the role of "fireman" and step in as producer to get projects out of the door. Now that he fucked off, they don't even have him to step him.

It was the only move to make, after outsourcing completely wrecked their reputation.

3.5 years, 5 and now 10 without even an announcement, you'd think GTA VI would be releasing already even with your points taken into account.

Well to be fair our neogaf friend here put in almost as much work into reading that as a 1000 developer Rockstar does on remaki....I mean remasteri .....um porting their games on the newer consoles.So its hard to fault him for not giving a shit...its only following Rockstar's pattern.

Are the leaks you are referring to about the infamous "I need the Benz!" email from Dan Houser?
Very peculiar how their output has slowed down significantly and their project management is in the gutter since he left.
 
Damn, if the next gta going to be so epic in proportions, that it taking a decade to create, they could have just gave us episodes or something. It feels like gta online is just letting Rockstar rest on their laurels.

I hope I'm wrong, but Rockstar just seems like it's going to become a kind of soulless, zombie version of its former self without the Housers and Lazlow.

This is 100% what I expect and I feel like old r* never would have been okay with these crappy ports and the shameful "definitive" edition of the gta3 trilogy. It used to be a seal of quality.

Writing is on the wall imo.

Yeah that mail and also some "insider" on humanity's trash heap (aka Twitter/X) said that Benzies had to step in multiple times, even going as far back as GTA 4 and RDR1.

Not to mention there were three more, whole-ass GTA games and two meaty standalone expansions in that time.

Yeah, the long development cycle sucks big times. I want a new GTA every 5-6 years.
